Nate McLouth makes catch, falls into crowd, and gets a beer thrown at him
In Thursday night's Orioles-Blue Jays game at Rogers Centre, Baltimore left fielder Nate McLouth experienced a trifecta of wackiness in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Where would Cardinals be without their rookie pitchers?
Beset by injuries, the Cardinals have had to turn to the farm system early and often this year.
Normally, when you're dealing with young and unproven players, the results are at best mixed. However, so far the Cardinals rookies have come through. The latest example being Tyler Lyons, who started for the Cardinals last night and hurled 7 innings while allowing only 1 run...
Cincinnati Bearcats baseball team rocks postgame interviews
College baseball teams sure seem to have fun, and the Cincinnati Bearcats are a good example.
UC finished the regular season 24-32 and placed ninth in the Big East with a 6-18 mark, failing to qualify for the conference tournament. ... But that didn't deter the Bearcats from having a jolly good time.
There was jousting.
There was addressing of royalty.
There was swimming...

For some reason, this Philadelphia Phillies fan made the trek to Miami to watch his team take on the Marlins Wednesday night.But it looks like he had no interest in watching the actual game being played on the field, though. A person sitting behind this man sent in the photo to Deadspin with the following details:This guy has his MacBook, iPad, and iPhone in the front row at the...
Cashman's prayers are answered: Seattle scorns Jesus, as Pineda resurrection looms
Well - as Steve Jobs said to Bill Gates - you never what to believe when you cut a deal with somebody from Seattle.All last year, the Jesus Montero trade - (I believe I called it "the debacle") - looked like a long range Yankee death and the reason to - as Hunter Thompson would say - stuff Brian Cashman into a bottle and put him out with the Japanese tide. Today, vindication...
Could Braves Trade Evan Gattis?
Could Evan Gattis be a trade chip?
The Braves Evan Gattis has come on the scene and made a big splash in his rookie season. Gattis already has 10 home runs (2nd on the team and tied for 4th in the NL) in just 121 plate appearances and is second on the Braves with 27 runs-batted-in, only one behind team leader, Justin Upton.
Gattis was dynamic in the just completed six game home stand...
Stl Cardinals Garcia may never be the same after surgery
The Stl Cardinals have lost pitcher Jaime Garcia for the season because of a torn labrum in his left shoulder. The injury will require surgery and cost him the rest of 2013.
The lefty starter originally felt pain in his shoulder during a start in the 2012 National League Divisional Series against the Washington Nationals. He pitched two innings before being pulled from the start...
Calling up Kevin Gausman another bold move for Baltimore Orioles
No one can say the Baltimore Orioles aren't afraid to make a bold move to stay competitive in the AL East.
Well, I suppose I might have said that during the offseason when the O's didn't add an impact hitter or pitcher to capitalize on the success of their improbable run to an AL wild-card playoff spot.
But manager Buck Showalter and general manager Dan Duquette...
A-Rod a budding real estate mogul?
Injured Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez already rakes in more dough than any player in baseball, earning $30 million a year for playing -- or, this year, not playing -- like a shell of his former self. And as it turns out, A-Rod also has a pretty good real estate racket going, too.
According to TMZ , the 37-year-old Rodriguez, who has been on the DL all season following January...

INCOGNITO
Jeter uses 'Philip' alias for Starbucks order
I can't quite put my finger on it, but this "Philip" character looks familiar. According to the New York Post, Derek Jeter was spotted leaving a Greenwich Village Starbucks with the name "Philip" on the side. Which means one of three things...the New York Yankees captain is still using a pseudonym when in public (he used to go by "Johnny Drama"...
Don Mattingly has his ‘Wu-Tang moment’, keeps it real, we’ll see if it goes wrong
Yesterday, Don Mattingly had what I call a “Wu-Tang moment”, inspired by the “When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong” skit on Chappelle’s Show.
Humorous? Yes, but what it mean to me is that Mattingly basically dropped all the fronts and simply went in on the Dodgers players and front office in surprisingly pointed comments.
“We’re in last place in the National League West...

Fan catches B.J. Upton homer with his hat
I'm always going to be ridiculously impressed by fans who catch balls with their hat (which always has seemed to be some sort of impossible task for me), and this one in Atlanta yesterday is another fantastic play to add to the ledger. In the bottom of the fourth inning of the Braves' 8-3 win over the Twins, BJ Upton homered to left field against Vance Worley. This fan proceeded...
Nationals players have shirts with pitching coach Steve McCatty posing for Playgirl on them (Picture)
Earlier this week, a rumor surfaced that Washington Nationals pitching coach Steve McCatty posed for Playgirl magazine in 1984. The folks at Baseball Prospectus later confirmed the speculation by digging up this photo and introducing it to the internet. As you might expect, it has been open season on McCatty in the Nationals’ clubhouse ever since. On Wednesday, Twitter user @JackoBeam...
